E-reader test, book presentation, discussion
FIKTION
The model literature project FIKTION sums up its first three years and looks ahead to the future
In German and English
Visitors can test the e-reader designed by and recently optimized by Fiktion. The Leipzig-based author and farmer Francis Nenik presents his novel COIN OPERATED HISTORY, a meandering prehistory of Google: what do the conquest of America, the Vineland map, Mongol hordes, Spanish monks and a lost chandelier have to do with each other? Also, FIKTION takes stock of the global sales of free, German and English-language e-books, the development of its e-reader, which has given up analogies to printed books, and thoughts on the reformation of copyrights. It also looks ahead at the global search for the GREATEST UNPUBLISHABLE NOVEL (G.U.N.).
